There are currently 1.1 million Landec Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Landec Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 0.6% down from 1.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Landec Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Landec Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Landec Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Landec Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 131093.85150812). Landec Corporation's SIR currently stands at 8.62. In other words for every 100,000 Landec Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8620 shares are currently held short.
However Landec Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Landec Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Landec Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Landec Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Landec Corporation shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0433% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Landec Corporation shares, roughly 43 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Landec Corporation.
